ABOUT US
OUR VISION & GOAL
We want to combine our passion for engineering with the enthusiastic lifestyle of the disc golf community.
Evolvent Discs is a small, independent company based in Örebro, Sweden. Our team consists of two engineers with the goal to maximize your disc golf experience.
Evolvent Discs will always strive to supply the sport with the most reliable, sustainable and high quality golf discs. We do so by carefully selecting materials, design parameters and manufacturing strategies. We believe that our passion for engineering together with the enthusiastic lifestyle of the disc golf community will form a unique bond between manufacturers and players around the world.
The word evolvent (involute) comes from the mathematical formula describing a curve that is dependent on another curve or shape. It’s most commonly seen on the flank of a gear tooth. The evolvent shape is what marks our brand.
WE LOVE ENGINEERING QUALITY PRODUCTS.
At Evolvent Discs we believe we have a toolset to succeed in the most challenging situations. There’s no better marketing than letting the products speak for themselves, this is our motto. With careful and rigorous strive for perfection we seek to evolve the sport of disc golf.
BEHIND THE BRAND
Behind Evolvent is Johan and Dennis, two former colleagues teaming up to form a company specializing in producing disc golf discs. Johan and Dennis share a passion for engineering and sports, growing up in Skövde and Jönköping they eventually both moved to Örebro to become engineers at the university.
Dennis has a background in engineering, with a master in Industrial Engineering and Managment. He has experience in project management and quality issues. With his passion for the sport of disc golf, Dennis believes that the optimal combination of competence and interest will create valuable advantages for Evolvent Discs going forward.
Johan has a background in the automotive industry, with experience working with forging dies (steel forging) and machining. Johan has always had a strong motivation to start a project like building Evolvent Discs, and is more excited than ever to build a strong competitor in disc manufacturing.
HOW IT STARTED
In 2022, Johan and Dennis decided to create a company developing and producing discs for disc golf, which eventually gave birth to Evolvent Discs. Their determination to become one of the most talked about disc golf brands within the coming years has led them to a product release so far, with boundless potential ahead.
Evolvent Discs is an independent company with no funds and hence solely rely on Johan and Dennis commitment to the company. While there are many positive sides about being completely independent, it also comes with challenges. There’s a lot of investments done before having a final product, but their strong determination and strategical mindset lay a good foundation to become one of the top brands in disc golf in a forseeable future.

2022 – APRIL 14
STARTING A GREAT JOURNEY
Johan and Dennis created the first workspace to structure the project: Creating the highest quality golf discs possible. Starting with breaking down our goal and vision over different timeframes.
2023 – JANUARY 3
FIRST PRODUCT DRAFT
The first Readiness draft is blueprinted. During the design phase, we had input from a number of selected local and skilled players in Örebro, giving their thoughts about the overall design and dimensions. We went through probably about 15 – 20 concepts before landing in the final design.
2023 – APRIL 15
MACHINING THE READINESS MOLD
Giving life to our first mold, the process to get to this point was a big leap, and the first real key project gateway to get through. Without giving too much details, this step was incused by the infamous density/volume/milling dilemma as we had chosen which plastic we wanted to go with already, which made the target disc weight a lot more challenging.
2023 – OCTOBER 19
A PRODUCT IS BORN
We iterated through a list of plastics during the summer, and finally, Readiness was injection molded in the Apex-100. As Apex-100 is the highest density plastic in the Apex world, we focused on getting it right for an emerging PDGA Approval.
2023 – DECEMBER 11
OFFICIAL PDGA APPROVAL
Readiness is finally a PDGA approved disc. This marks the point where we can finally focus on producing the first run for an upcoming release.
2023 – DECEMBER 15
PROTOTYPING APEX-80
As the Apex-100 is a very hard plastic, we felt that for the first run we needed to release a more sweet-spotted plastic blend, which ended up being the Apex-80.
2024 – MARCH 24
READINESS APEX-80 LAUNCHING IN SWEDEN
We have finally reached the first big startup goal – releasing a product. We are extremely proud to be able to present you our first run of the midrange: Readiness Apex-80.
2024 – MAY 2
BUILDING TRUST AT ÖREBRO TOUR
An overwhelmingly positive day at the Örebro Tour with great people and weather. Many have not heard about us yet, not even locally. As an independent company, we are normally working daily jobs, which have created a challenge for us so far to attain the connection we seek with the community. We are now able to focus more on connecting with the community as we have a product to present. Thank you KFUM Örebro for this opportunity.
